When Xue Shao went to Zhao Yijie's residence, he happened to meet Xue Chuyu and an old military doctor with a medicine box coming out at the same time, it turned out that he had just finished changing Zhao Yijie's medicine. Xue Shao asked the old military doctor how Zhao Yijie's injuries were.

The old military doctor said that Zhao Yijie had more than 30 injuries on his body, and the blood loss was very serious. In other words, if it were an ordinary person, he would have died a long time ago. The old military doctor still can't figure out how Zhao Yijie survived. It can only be said that he may be blessed by the gods behind him.

Later, Xue Shao walked into the room lightly to take a look. Zhao Yijie was lying on the bed, his body was weak and half asleep, his eyes were half open and half closed. Suddenly seeing Xue Shao from the blurred vision, Zhao Yijie actually jumped up from the bed and knelt down on one knee on the spot, "Meet the young marshal!" ”

"You're crazy, lie down!" Xue Shao and Xue Chuyu hurriedly stepped forward together, and dragged him back to the bed and lay down.

Zhao Yijie looked at Xue Shao, his eyes were fluttering, his lips were closed and he tried to speak, but he couldn't say a word.

"Don't get excited." Xue Shao said, "Take care of your injuries with peace of mind, and you can talk about anything later." ”

"I ...... I just want to thank the young marshal for driving me out of the Thousand Horsemen. Zhao Yijie stammered.

Xue Shao smiled, "This is also worthy of your thanks?" ”

"If it weren't for the young marshal's slap in the face, I would have been living in a mess for the rest of my life." Zhao Yijie said, "If I waste my life and humiliate my ancestors, I might as well die early and get out of life early." ”

"There is no need to mention the past." Xue Shao said, "What you did in Longquan this time, I have already made a detailed statement to the imperial court, and asked the imperial court to let you make a consequence of your crimes, avoid exile and charge the army, and allow you to return to Qianqi." What do you think? ”

Zhao Yijie didn't show any excitement, but smiled, "Thank you for your kindness." In fact, I only wanted to comfort my heart in the matter of Longquan, and I never thought of making a mistake or returning to Qianqi. ”

"You don't want to go back to Qianqi?" Xue Shao was a little surprised.

"I don't want to." Zhao Yijie said, "Being able to be on an errand at the royal rate of a thousand horsemen is indeed both majestic and promising." But I'm not going to have a good life. The more I eat, the more I play, the lazier I get, and eventually I lose my fighting spirit and lose my way. I'd rather serve as a border pawn in Huaiyuan Military Town, tracing the footprints left by my grandfather and my father in the Western Regions, so that I can start my life anew. Don't ask for heroic and extraordinary, but for being worthy of your heart. ”

Xue Shao was silent for a moment and nodded, "Everyone has their own ambitions, I don't force you." If you want to come back, the doors of the Thousand Rides are always open for you. ”

"Thank you, young marshal!"

Xue Shao nodded and smiled, and said, "You are good." Very few people can really turn around and be a new man. If you want to temper yourself in the border military town, I can introduce you to Wang Fangyi, the governor of Xiazhou. The Anxi Tiger Division is unparalleled in the world, and such an army is very refined. ”

"Anxi Tiger Division, Wang Fangyi?" Zhao Yijie asked curiously and expectantly, "Young marshal...... Can it really be? ”

"Of course." Xue Shao nodded with a smile, "Wang Fangyi is in Chengping County now, I'll say a word to him, and this matter will be done." ”

"Then thank you again for the young marshal!" Zhao Yijie was a little excited, "My ancestor and my father used to be soldiers of the Anxi Army!" ”

"Then you can be regarded as inheriting the ancestral business." Xue Shao smiled, "Although I would prefer that you return to Qianqi and serve under me." But let's be honest, tempering in the border guards will grow faster. I look forward to the day when you will stand out and become the only general under Wang Fangyi. Then, become a generation of famous generals! ”

Zhao Yijie laughed ashamedly, "I'm ...... I didn't think about it that much! I just want to grind myself for a few years in the frontier and get rid of the bad things in this body. When the fallen leaves return to their roots in the future, I will have my face buried in the ancestral grave. When I get underground, I won't have my own father break my legs. ”

Xue Shao, Xue Chuyu and the others all smiled and were pleased.

Seeing that Zhao Yijie was weak, Xue Shao did not stay long. After a little talk and left some precious medicine, Xue Shao said goodbye and left.

"It's a pity to miss it!" Xue Chuyu shook his head again and again and sighed, "I rarely meet a man who can make me awe-inspired, Zhao Yijie is definitely one!" ”

"Let him go to the Anxi army to hone his training, not necessarily a miss." Xue Shao smiled, "On the contrary, I want to borrow chickens to lay eggs." ”

Xue Chuyu blinked curiously, his heart woke up slightly, and he whispered: "Don't you want to stay in Qianqi for a long time?" ”

Xue Shao frowned and said, "Qianqi will always belong to the emperor alone, no one can take it, and no one can do it for long." Besides, I just want to be a real general, and I don't want to stay in the palace as a guard for the rest of my life. Sooner or later, I will leave the Thousand Cavalry and go to the Twelve Guards Field Army of Nanya to seek a way to survive. ”

Xue Chuyu was not only not worried when he heard this, but was happy, "The young marshal is thinking about it, and he is in harmony with his subordinates!" Serving in the Imperial Guards is glamorous and majestic, but it always feels like something is wrong, as if someone is firmly tied up. If you stay in Chang'an, maybe you don't feel it. As soon as I leave Chang'an, this feeling is quite obvious - it is still free and easy to go out, and it is more heart-wrenching! As the young marshal said, I just want to be a real general, a general who fights wars! ”

Xue Shao smiled, "Needless to say, Guo Yuanzhen must have thought so in his heart." You see his madness in crusading against Bai Tieyu this time, like a bison calf suffocated in a cage, daring to do anything, he actually dared to stun me in front of the battle, and then pretended to be me to charge into battle. This kind of he did was enough to kill his head! ”

"So the young marshal sent him to recover Suide and Dabin counties, so that he could redeem his credit?" Xue Chuyu said with a smile.

"Then why don't you really cut him down, or wait to go back to Chang'an and let Yushi impeach and clean him up?" Xue Shao shook his head helplessly and smiled, "That guy, it's not worry-free!" Do you remember the last time you were in the annex? He was actually captured alive in a brothel with Li Duozuo and others! We just arrived in Yanzhou to let him report, and he was knocked unconscious by Guo An's local soldiers, and even his clothes were stripped - that guy can be really ashamed! ”

Xue Chuyu laughed, laughing so much that tears were about to come out.

Xue Shao also smiled. Xue Chuyu rarely laughed like this, he was like a cold-faced Vajra Bodhisattva in front of the living, and he had always been unsmiling.

Taking advantage of the fact that it was not yet dark, Xue Shao and Xue Chuyu decided to leave for Chengping County immediately. Yue Nu returned to Xuanyunzi, Xue Shao agreed with her and asked her to send a message to Xuanyunzi, so that they would return to Chengping in ten days at the latest, and then they would return to Chang'an.

The rebellion of Bai Tieyu can be regarded as completely pacified.

After Xue Shao returned to Chengping, Wang Fangyi and Su Wei came to see him and showed Xue Shao a copy of the written music.

It is good news for the imperial court.

Su Wei is a super useful pen, writes the music beautifully, and attributes all the credit to Xue Shao's head.

Xue Shao felt that it was inappropriate, although the battle of Chengping was fought by himself, and Bai Tieyu was the main force of the rebels captured by himself and defeated by himself, but if there was no Anxi army under Wang Fangyi to clean up the mess, the Suizhou Rebellion would definitely not be pacified so quickly.

So Xue Shao asked Su Wei to rewrite it, and he must respect the facts. Wang Fangyi refused to accept the credit in every possible way, Xue Shao tried his best to persuade him, and in the end, the two almost argued. In the end, it was Xue Shao who had the upper hand, who called him the coach?

With a stroke of Su Wei's pen, a new piece of music was completed overnight, this time he basically wrote it based on facts, and Xue Shao was very satisfied.

Wang Fangyi was very distressed and ashamed, feeling that instead of playing the role of the "main force in counterinsurgency", he followed Xue Shao to make a military exploit...... It seems that the result of things is just the opposite of what I originally expected!

The heaviest reward and punishment in the army, even if it is a copper plate reward and punishment, the soldier will be quite calculating and caring. In fact, what they care about is not the little thing of reward and punishment, but the honor and shame that "reward and punishment" represents.

In an elite army of a hundred battles, honor is the life of a soldier, and some people even regard it as more important than life.

Xue Shao gave part of his military exploits to the Anxi army as it was, which earned him another recognition and respect from Wang Fangyi and his subordinates. Xue Shao took the opportunity to recommend Zhao Yijie to Wang Fangyi, Wang Fangyi had already heard about the Battle of Longquan and Zhao Yijie's name, and accepted it very enthusiastically at the moment. Moreover, he decided on the spot to visit Zhao Yijie in person tomorrow. He also said that he would definitely reuse the cultivation of Zhao Yijie in the future.

Xue Shao suddenly felt that he was so envious of Wang Fangyi. If one day he can hold an elite tiger division like him, guard a choke point military town, and support half of the country, then it can be regarded as a real "mixed up".

At the same time, Wang Fangyi and his generals were also very envious of Xue Shao. inherited the Wei Gong Art of War and became a senior disciple of Pei Gong, and he became a four-rank lieutenant general in his early twenties, and became famous in the first battle and took firm root in the army. How do you look at this, Xue Shao will definitely be able to become a leading figure in the Tang Dynasty army in the future.

High-spirited youth ambition is an unattainable dream for countless men.

In the next few days, the generals sent by Wang Fangyi's subordinates to conquer the remnants of the bandits came back one after another to hand over orders. They were indeed very capable, and they were completely wiped out of the remnants of the bandits a few days before the time specified in the military order.

The pseudo-"Bright Dynasty", which Bai Tieyu had painstakingly operated for more than ten years before drawing up, completely collapsed under the combined efforts of Xue Shao and Wang Fangyi, and soon disappeared.

Two days later, Xuan Yunzi and Yue Nu also came back with Bai Tieyu. After this round of "touring", Bai Tieyu was obviously wilted by Xuan Yunzi, and he lost his arrogance and madness on the day he was captured.

It's time for the class teacher to return to the court.

Xue Shao brought his brothers and the soldiers of the Anxi Army to a celebration party. Almost every general of the Anxi Army came to toast Xue Shao and drunk him until he was drunk.

Take down the enemy with a knife, and bring down the brother with good wine. Anxi Jun no longer regards Xue Shao as an outsider.

Now it seems that, as Guo Yuanzhen said, a general's fame and prestige can only be obtained through his achievements, and there is no other way. In the Northern Expedition, although the fledgling Xue Shao had made achievements, he was shrouded in the aura of Pei Xingjian after all. Pacifying Bai Tieyu is the real "battle out of the mountain" in Xue Shao's military career.

He used this victory to make a name for himself and won the recognition and respect of the Anxi Tiger Division.

This is Xue Shao's biggest gain so far when he came to Datang.
